[QUOTE="Cozzer, post: 1577827, member: 26843"] I thought of this more than 30 years ago! My current "model" usually rests near the compost bin area, but when required is brought out, the central shaft lodged in the ground and then 3 bricks are placed underneath the outer edge to support it. (The ol' 3 legs better than 4 theory at it again!) When the kids were small we used to somehow mount a 3' long piece of pipe in the centre, pointing straight up, and fire rockets et al on bonfire night, and afterwards remove the pipe and throw in various bits of wood to make a fire. When red hot the perforations used to glow with the flames behind - magical for the kids. Once it had died down a bit, we used to put chestnuts/spuds/whatever around the top rim where the door used to fit.... The kids used to refer to it as the "scud missile launcher"! At times we threw a metal sheet over it and used it as a bbq - the hundreds of holes in the drum allowed air to circulate, and allowed any smoke to escape. [/QUOTE]
